Chapter 455 Steel Duel 1
(Under 107)
On the northern front of the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Langya, Nangong Zhi Yujia personally marched—although he still bears the title of general, everyone knows that Nangong Zhi is the emperor of the Kingdom of Shaoze, what is lacking now is only a title.
But at this moment, Nangong Zhi frowned. The current war situation was something that Nangong Zhi had never thought of before! He thought that the war might be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult.
The Kingdom of Langya is crazy! They actually used hundreds of thousands of legions as bait, and dragged almost half a million elites from the Kingdom of Shaoze and the Kingdom of Canglan to their death.
This time, Nangong Zhi was shocked.
The Kingdom of Few has been fighting all these years, and the country is waiting to be rebuilt. The loss of hundreds of thousands of legions is a bit traumatic. If it weren't for the fact that the war could no longer be stopped, and if it wasn't for the continuous support of the Dayang Group, Nangong Zhi would have thought of withdrawing his troops.
However, it is impossible to stop the war at this point.
It is impossible for Nangong Zhi to give the Kingdom of Langya a chance to breathe. Not to mention, the Holy Land behind both sides has also been involved long ago. Right now, the right to decide this war is already on the side of Xuanzhen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect.
Nangong Zhi watched the heated discussion among his brain trusters, and suddenly became a little lost in thought. He suddenly thought of a question, a very serious question:
The recent wars, etc., seem to have the shadow of Dayang Group behind them! Although the Dayang Group did not directly participate in it, it is the Dayang Group's credit for the unity and strength of the Shaoze Country itself, not to mention others.
But we must also see that in the current war, it seems that the shadow of the Dayang Group is behind it?
Nan Gongzhi was still thinking, but someone came in to report that Wu Fanghai, the commander of Qixia Kingdom, came to visit.
Wu Fanghai? Arrived so soon? The news came from Qixia Kingdom this morning.
As a general, he certainly knew the old commander. This is the number one military officer in the Qixia Kingdom. When Nan Gongzhi went to the Qixia Kingdom, he also asked Wu Fanghai about military issues.
Nan Gongzhi came forward to greet him in person, but he saw Wu Fanghai, who was getting older and older, and a dozen or so people with extraordinary bearing at Wu Fanghai's side.
After we met, Wu Fanghai said directly after being polite, "I'm troubling the general."
Nangong Zhi smiled and said, "If General Wu comes, it will be troublesome. I hope this kind of trouble will happen every day."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Nangong Zhi invited Wu Fanghai and others into the barracks, and gave a brief introduction to everyone. Finally, Nan Gongzhi said to everyone: "Come, let us warmly welcome the arrival of General Wu Fanghai. General Wu Fanghai represents the country of Qixia, and came to exchange military experience with us, especially in the current war.
I believe everyone knows that today's war mode originated from the Qixia Kingdom; therefore, many experiences of the Qixia Kingdom are worthy of our attention and learning. "
Everyone immediately gave a warm welcome, which was indeed very warm and without any falsehood.
After a while, when the applause stopped, Nangong Zhi said to Wu Fanghai: "General Wu, we are very happy to hear that you are coming. I wonder if you can explain the war in Qixia Kingdom?"
Wu Fanghai smiled: "Of course there is no problem."
At the invitation of Nan Gongzhi, Wu Fanghai stood on a high place. Although the old general's hair was gray and his appearance was obviously old, he was full of energy at this time: "Today, by the order of the queen, I came to the front line of the country of Shaoze to observe The military situation is my honor, Wu Fanghai.
In the past two years, I think there have been three major battles in the west of Fertile Continent, and these three major battles have been in sequence.
In terms of time, they are the Qixia Kingdom's unification war, the Shaoze Kingdom's unification war, and the ongoing war.
The Queen called this war: Coastal War!
Why is it called a 'coastal war'? According to Zhang Hao, our Minister of Ocean Development, we are entering a new era, a new era of black iron and great navigation!
In this era, winning the ocean is as important as winning the land!
Land is the fundamental land! The ocean is the land of dreams! And if we want to support our new dreams, we need... a lot of spiritual materials! This spiritual material can be summarized as: Xuantie! "
The crowd burst into warm applause, which lasted for a long time.
Wu Fanghai waited for the applause to die down, and continued: "In history, we have never had so much black iron available like today.
The black iron coins are constantly updated, and the purity of the black iron coins used by the people today is already at 80%.
Even ordinary people can afford excellent black iron.
What is the current output of black iron?
Last month, which was also the first month of the new year, to be precise, was the first month of the second year of the Tianyuan era, the production of black iron in Qixia Kingdom was... 120,000 tons!
And according to the survey of the Qixia Kingdom, the total output of black iron from all countries in the west of Fertile Land Continent and the influence of Xuanzhen Sect exceeds 600,000 tons!
One month, 600,000 tons!
Going back to two years ago, the annual production of black iron in the Qixia Kingdom was only about 5,000 tons; the output of the entire six western countries was only 25,000 tons of black iron! annual!
what does that mean? Means a new era! In the past, our ordinary soldiers could only use low-level magic weapons, but now our soldiers use high-quality magic weapons. Many performances of these magical weapons even surpassed the magic weapons of the past, and even middle-grade magic weapons!
But the biggest change lies in the emergence of arms!
If the increase of black iron has changed the practice environment and improved the level of warfare, then the appearance of arms has completely changed the rules of warfare! "
Then, Wu Fanghai talked about some of his experiences. This time, Wu Fanghai was sent here by Liu Xinyu. As a military observer, he actually came here to study.
After confirming that this would be an unprecedented war, the queen was keenly aware that this war would be an epoch-making war. This kind of war, Qixia Country must come to learn.
…………
Time passed day by day and both sides of the war were getting ready. The atmosphere became more and more solidified.
In the Land of Langya and the shipbuilding base of the Lingbo Group, the representative of the Xiaoyao Sect and Wang Ruiyang's master, Daoist Guanyun, treated him seriously. Ahead, three 10,000-ton black iron battleships have entered the final inspection!
Originally, the black iron battleship would last about a month; but at this time, it had to work overtime. The craftsmen hadn't closed their eyes for several days, and the Xiaoyao faction even gave these ordinary craftsmen a large amount of excellent pills, which were once difficult for inner disciples to obtain.
In addition, the Xiaoyao faction also sent a large number of master craftsmen to perfect the 'welding technology' of the Lingbo Group. To be precise, they used a method of refining, a welding technique converted from a method of refining.
Compared with Dayang Group's welding technology, Lingbo Group's welding technology needs to be handled by experts and is expensive--the refining method can be imagined, especially for welding 10,000-ton warships.
But at this time, I don't care much!
"To fight battleships, there are only battleships!" Wang Ruiyang came to the side of the master and said softly, "A battleship with a capacity of 10,000 tons is an unprecedented super magic weapon! Such a magic weapon is difficult to sink even in the stage of transformation!"
At the beginning, Dayang Group's first steel warship Zhiyuan was only 4,000 tons, and the three of us at the stage of transformation were besieged by him, and he ran away.
Now the battleships of the Xuanzhen Sect are all 10,000-ton or 20,000-ton class. To be more precise, the 13,000-ton and 25,000-ton warships, compared with the original Zhiyuan, have a qualitative improvement in both technology and power!
In contrast, the means of transforming gods have not changed at all in the past two years! "
Taoist Guan Yun nodded solemnly, thought for a while and asked again: "Now the shells of the Dayang Group have the ability to break the ban! What are you going to do about this?"
"There is no way to do this for the time being! What we can do is to produce some advanced artillery shells by means of refining weapons in a short period of time regardless of the cost, which also has the ability to break the ban.
If we can refine part of the shells by means of refining, or increase the charge of some shells to the limit by using the means of storage refining, maybe we can make some super shells, and maybe we can deal a heavy blow to Xuanzhen Sect! "
Taoist Guanyun frowned slightly: If you want to refine shells with storage technology, you need to use star gold, which is very extravagant! Because shells are disposable! Considering the hit rate of the shells now... Thinking about it makes me tremble a little.
But gritted his teeth, Taoist Guan Yun nodded and personally participated in the refining of the 'Super Cannonball'!
If science and technology are not enough, we will open it! This is an era when the whole people is open! In Huashenqi's personal refinement of disposable shells, it's hard to believe that it can't compare to the industrial output of your Dayang Group.
Even if the cost is so high that the heart of the god transformation stage trembles, this is not the time to save money!
This is, crazy time!
If the battle is lost and all the warships are sunk, the price will be even heavier.
On the eighth day, the Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai Fleet docked at Changshan Port set off. They headed to Qianlong Port in the Land of Canglan, where they made final supplements and rest.
Arms from the Dayang Group are directly transported to Qianlong Port by railway, so that the Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect will have no worries. In the port, countless materials are piled up like a mountain, and formations and barriers are layered one after another to ensure the absolute safety of these arms.
Time, little by little, came to the moment when Xuanzhen Sect made an ultimatum. On the morning of the tenth day, Xuanzhen Sect made an ultimatum; Xiaoyao Sect also responded: Xuanzhen taught you to deceive people too much! Let's just buy something, what are you doing!
At this point, the children all understand: the two holy places must have a fight!
On the morning of the eleventh day, Xuanzhen Sect officially notified that after ten days, Xuanzhen Sect would "correct the mistakes of the Free and Unfettered Sect" - and would "take back" the steel warships Hailong and Hague of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
The Weihai Fleet, which had already rested in Qianlong Harbor... has left the port!
The Weihai Fleet now consists of four Zhenyuan-class ships and 12 Iron Duke-class ships, named respectively: Endeavor No. 1 to No. 4, and Wuwei No. 1 to No. 12.
In addition, there are three Iron Duke-class warships from the Land of Canglan: Revenge, Dawn, and Thunder.
Belonging to the Xuanzhen sect, there are 19 steel battleships alone, four of which are 20,000-ton class.
In addition, the Land of Canglan sent more than 50 skinned warships—most of these dark iron-skinned warships have a displacement of about 10,000 tons. Such ships are more flexible, powerful and defensive.
The fleet set off in a mighty way, vowing to wipe out the sea power of the Xiaoyao faction in one fell swoop... Oh no, it is to correct the mistakes of the Xiaoyao faction, a thorough correction.
At the same time, the 'Sea Dragon Fleet' also set off at Qiongshan Port in the Land of Langya.
Two 10,000-ton-class steel warships, Hailong and Hague; and three 10,000-ton-class black iron warships just launched: Molong 1 to 3.
Finally, there are 300 warships built by the Kingdom of Langya and the Kingdom of Southern Tang. They also learned from the Kingdom of Canglan and made black iron skins. The traditional sea-going ship building technology is not comparable to that of the Land of Langya or the Kingdom of Southern Tang.
The atmosphere of the entire Fertile Soil Continent has frozen. Experts from all over the world have come to the sky above the Emerald Sea in advance, waiting to watch the battle—an unprecedented battle of steel!
There are those in the Kunlun Continent, those in the Territory Continent, and those in the Fertile Continent of the Eastern Immortal Hidden Sect... On this day, hundreds of god-transformers gathered in the sky above the Emerald Sea! With so many transformation stages gathered together, the sky is naturally cloudless.
But... where is the battle going to start? Someone is following the fleet, and someone is waiting silently.
There are also apprentices and grandchildren who followed the masters, etc., each of them is too excited to contain themselves. Iron battleship, known as the most powerful magic weapon in history!
And Liu Dingshan also brought Zhang Hao, Liu Xinyu and others over.
A great battle that was later remembered as the "Coastal War" is about to break out.
(The update is a bit late, I was really tired yesterday.)
